Jason Crow enters his general election two points ahead of five-term Republican incumbent Mike Coffman
despite only being known to a quarter of the district’s voters. While the electorate has more registered
Republicans than Democrats, the environment in this swing district is a disastrous one for Republicans. On the
back of a big margin with Unaffiliated voters, Democrats hold a double-digit advantage on the generic
Congressional ballot. Moreover, Donald Trump is despised, and a near two-to-one majority say they want a
Democrat elected who will be mostly a check against the President over a Republican who will mostly vote in
support of his agenda. Perhaps most impressive, Crow expands his lead to double digits after voters hear a
short profile on both candidates. It is clear that if Crow has the resources necessary to deliver his message to
voters, Mike Coffman will be in serious jeopardy this November.

KEY SURVEY FINDINGS:
• The momentum is on the side of Democrats in the 6th District: While party registration tilts slightly
Republican in the projected electorate here (34% Dem/31% Unaffiliated/35% GOP), Democrats hold a 6-
point advantage on party self-identification (48% Dem/42% GOP including self-identified independents
who lean toward a party). The Democrats’ advantage is even more pronounced on the generic
Congressional ballot, with voters preferring an unnamed Democrat to an unnamed Republican candidate
by 10 points (47% Dem/37% GOP) – including a 48% to 20% edge among Unaffiliated voters. Importantly,
Trump is very unpopular with voters (38% fav/59% unfav) – including six in ten (62%) Unaffiliated voters
who have a “very unfavorable” view of the president. Meanwhile, a huge majority (58%) say they prefer a
Democrat who will vote to be a check on Trump over a Republican who will mostly vote with Trump (32%).

• Democrat Jason Crow leads Republican Mike Coffman by two: Before hearing any information on either
of the candidates, Crow leads Coffman by 2-points (47% Crow/45% Coffman). Registered Unaffiliated
voters prefer Crow by 14 points (49% Crow/35% Coffman). Crow’s lead is all the more impressive as he is
only known to a quarter of the electorate (25%).

• Crow’s profile resonates and allows him to pull away from Coffman on an informed vote: After voters
are exposed to balanced positive profiles of both candidates, with Coffman’s using language taken from
his speeches and campaign website, Crow moves into a 13-point lead over Coffman on an informed ballot,
(51% Crow/38% Coffman).
